    Band Name Stories: Cross Canadian Ragweed

    This raucous country-rock act was formed in Yukon, Okla., in the mid-'90s and soon relocated to nearby Stillwater. And although the group's initials would suggest a tribute to another country-rock outfit, Credence Clearwater Revival, the band's name is actually a melding of the names of founding members -- and lifelong friends -- Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and Matt Wiedemann. Although Wiedemann later left the group and was replaced by Jeremy Plato, the original name remains.
